A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's not the kids, not the lurkers, not the mods... y'all just nice people. Lemmy's got a good vibe going... or at least enough windows that we can close if the vibe gets shit.

All I can picture for lemmy users right now is an excited dog at a dog park that is just loving life and wants to say high to every other dog and is wagging his tail so hard that his whole ass is wagging.

Word. This is fun. Tons of jank but it doesn’t detract from the experience, but merely an interesting part of it (least right now).

Lemmy is janky, but that's probably a good thing. Keeps the entitled asses away. I've only seen one asshole on this entire site in the last month.

I sort of had an intuition that the people I want to talk to, the people I enjoyed talking to over there, would also be the ones who made the choice to come here.

It feels nice and warm, that's for sure :) I hope it stays this way but the content grows to where I can use this as my new source of information

Semi-related... You guys have any tips for seeing new popular posts? I have checked subscribed top week, subscribed top day, even month, and then even all for those 3. I feel like I only see new content every 3-5 days. Or is that just because we're still growing and I'm just used to the overflow of content on reddit? lol

I, for one, will not be missing the Reddit ads.

Amen! It's a little slow but I'm perfectly fine with that! Everyone here is vibing for sure!

Newbie here after RIF went to Valhalla, I really hope this place grows and develops and people stay. I am enjoying it so far it reminds me of ol' forum days and Reddit of old, maybe I'm just being nostalgic but I just want this to work well and hope it's not just a short lived influx!
